Through Four Games...
Junior Milahnie Perry and senior Madison Smith both lead Falcon scoring, averaging 18.5 and 17.5 points, respectively.
Sophomore Jayda McNabb leads Air Force in rebounding, averaging 8.8 (4.0 OFF/G, 4.8 DEF/G). McNabb was one of 13 players across Division I to log a double-double in the opening week of competition, earning 16 points and 10 boards in Air Force's 73-66 win over South Dakota (Nov. 8).
As a team, the Falcons currently average a .443 shooting percentage, leading all Mountain West programs; 12.5 Air Force steals per game is second-best among league starts.
The Series:
Air Force is 12-4 in the all-time series against the Mountain Lions and in search of their seventh-straight win - A streak which extends back to the 1996 season.
Current Trends:
In all three wins to start the season, Air Force has:
- Scored more than 70 points (26 consecutive);
- Held opponents to less than 70 points;
- Forced more turnovers than opponents;
- Had more steals:
- Created more turnovers;
- Led in the game with five minutes to go (51 consecutive wins in regulation).
Service Before Self:
Jo Huntimer's 285 career assists currently ranks third in Air Force's DI history and eighth all-time; 8 more will match second in DI history and seventh all-time (Briana Autrey-Thompson, 2018-22).
The Magic Number...
Air Force has won 26 consecutive games in which they have scored 70 or more points, a streak which extends back to Dec. 29, 2022.
Completing the Mission:
Air Force has won 51 consecutive games ending in regulation when leading with five minutes to go in the fourth quarter. The last regulation loss with an Air Force lead at the 5:00 mark was on Feb. 5, 2021 at home against UNLV. Through that stretch, the Falcons have fallen in two overtime games on the road after holding a five-minute lead – A double-overtime loss at UTEP on Dec. 21, 2021, and a 57-51 loss in extra time last Friday at Army.
A New Era of Air Force Leadership:
Following the retirement of head coach Chris Gobrecht after nine seasons at the Academy and 44 patrolling sidelines across the country, Stacy McIntyre stepped into the driver's seat, with Air Force Director of Athletics Nathan Pine announcing McIntyre's elevation to head coach status on April 25.
With McIntyre's announcement came the addition of three new coaches in the Falcon office - Adam Wardenburg, former associate head coach at Utah Valley, to serve under the same title; Rynae Rasley, a former assistant of three years under Chris Gobrecht and most recent head coach at the USAFA Preparatory School; and Xojian Harry, who was an acting assistant coach at Utah Valley with Wardenburg.
